Example EditorConfig file

.editorconfig

# EditorConfig helps developers define and maintain consistent
# coding styles between different editors and IDEs
# editorconfig.org

root = true


[*]
end_of_line = lf
charset = utf-8
trim_trailing_whitespace = true
insert_final_newline = true
indent_style = space
indent_size = 2

[*.txt]
indent_style = tab
indent_size = 4

[*.{diff,md}]
trim_trailing_whitespace = false

What will happen if I set root to false?

From https://editorconfig.org/

"When opening a file, EditorConfig plugins look for a file named .editorconfig in the directory of the opened file and in every parent directory. A search for .editorconfig files will stop if the root filepath is reached or an EditorConfig file with root=true is found"
